I just learned from the book. Here's a link: http://www.amazon.com/One-Block-Wond...e+block+wonder

They're really not hard at all. They go together pretty quickly and each block is different, so it's super fun!

I have some of that fish fabric with the blue background! It's neat to see one way a OBW might turn out. I so love making these quilts too. Great job on yours!

AllyStitches

Thank you!! The only problem with the fish fabric is that sometimes the eyeballs show up in weird places. If I remember correctly, that happened on both of the fish quilts. So I don't think I will use fabric that has eyes in it again. Some of the blocks were just too weird!!

they are all great! gotta say tho', that black and white is a showstopper!! would love to see the fabrics in their intact form.

Oh, my! They are all beautiful.

I'd go blind trying to do just one of them! I envy your talent, but in a good way!

I learned that my favorite way to finish these is to have a nice thick border or two of the original fabric, and then to back the quilts with the original fabric as well. It gives a great frame of reference for what happened to the fabric in the process. The black and white one was a zebra print. I didn't buy enough to make borders, so that was a mistake on that one. If I remember correctly, I bought the fabric in the bargain bin for $2 per yard, and just bought the whole length of what they had.

OBW quilts are so amazing. One fabric can turn into a beautiful work of art. I have the book, the fabric, now all I need is the bravery to make that first cut into my fabric. I will one of these days. You did a great job on all of yours.

I think there is a tutorial on this quilting board if I'm not mistaken for those interested.
